That Boy, That Wedding by Jillian Dodd

Omg!!! Seriously?!?!? I just got done reading these 2 books and let me say it is something that I can relate too. I was blown away by her writing style and I thought wow I wish I could write this way. She tore throw barriers like they were tissue paper.

The parents angle was heart breaking and real. There is no way anyone could not feel the pain and anguish through those pages. I felt vulnerable and unable to turn away. I know that pain and it just got me.

The chemistry between the three of them was so surreal. I was glad she didn't get with Danny because he needed someone so grounded. Jadyn is messed up and I am so glad that Phillip was there. He made everything ok for her without her even realizing it. The three of them fit like a puzzle and Jadyn's friend fit in to make it complete.

That boy made me realize what my kids are missing that connection between kids that are needed. I mean the best friends since grade school is just not that way at least here (Florida) anyways. I had friends that were growing up with me but it seems that has changed and it disappoints me. I would so like it if my kids played sports with other neighborhood kids then went to the same school. She highlights alot of things that have changed and I don't know whether it is the times or just the areas.

Jadyn is a really interesting character. She defies rules, does not fit into any kind of mold at all. I believe in some way or another many people wish they were like that. The impulsiveness bleeds through the book like it is blood and no one can stop it. She is like a tornado that will not stop and has torn through everything in her way. I enjoyed that and it made me laugh.

Danny seems to me like the typical guy. He is so oblivious it makes my head hurt. Does he not see what is in front of him or does he not care. I wonder.... Hmmm not for nothing but Jillian nailed him and I was so glad to read about a normal sports jock who in the end turns out to be a decent guy.

Phillip is one of those guys every girl wishes for. The knight in shining armor that comes to the rescue for everything:
                                                                  Flat tire... Check!
                                                                  To drunk to drive..... Check!
                                                                  Need your car washed....... Check!
                                                                  Need a shoulder to cry on.......Check!
I mean everything she ever wanted and he gave it to her. I was seriously about to scream when it came to that wedding because he loved her so much that he was there. How many guys like Phillip are out there? Kind, Generous, and calm hello sign me up.

Overall incredible journey cannot wait for that baby and I am waiting patiently....
